Neighborhoods

Explore our neighborhood.

Columbus, Indiana, is a city that seems to defy convention: in the way it looks, sure, but also in the way it entices you to look at it. Thanks to the work of modern architects brought by local philanthropist and visionary, J. Irwin Miller, Columbus has become a nationally recognized architectural wonderland. There are odd, elegant shapes, unexpected angles and interesting forms rising up all around you here—an artistically innovative town where Midwestern cottages and mom-and-pop shops share street corners with avant-garde installations. It’s no wonder architecture buffs from around the globe find their way to our modern Midwest mecca.

You’ll be surprised by the wealth of extraordinary buildings of architectural significance and public art that surround the hotel. There’s a Dale Chihuly chandelier in the Columbus Visitors Center, while Jean Tinguely’s kinetic sculpture, Chaos I, and Henry Moore’s Large Arch are located downtown. Use the free app to find information and maps to find hidden jewels.

Miller House

Miller House expands upon an architectural tradition developed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe with an open and flowing layout, flat roof, and stone and glass walls. The rooms, configured beneath a grid pattern of skylights, are filled with textiles that feature strong colors and playful patterns. Don't miss the large geometric gardens with their honey locust trees.

The Commons

When it opened in 1972, it was in the heart of the entertainment and business district. The Commons was rebuilt in 2011 and serves as the community hub. The ground floor houses a playground and food court, and the upper level has performance space for up to 450 people. Three sides of the building are enclosed in glass, and more than 15 types of glass were used.

Kidscommons Children's Museum

A fun, safe, inviting place, the museum nurtures exploration and creativity, and is a vibrant learning hub that enriches the life of every child who visits. Spend time in the Childhood Garden, enjoy Our House-Japan, scamper up the 17-foot-tall climbing wall, or hang out in the bubble room. Don’t miss the ExploraHouse, home of our world-famous giant toilet.

Yes Cinema

If it’s a cultural escape you’re looking for, YES Cinema on Jackson Street is a film lover’s retreat. This is Columbus’ only premiere theatre for independent, cultural, and educational films, occasionally reviving cinema classics, too. As part its new bargain movie line-up, the theater shows major Hollywood films, seven days a week. www.yescinema.org

The Garage Pub and Grill

Serving up live entertainment five nights a week, the Garage Pub and Grill also offers outside dining, a smoke-free environment, burgers, wraps, full bar, cigars and cigar room. Hear it here first with local bands, karaoke or Tuesday Trivia offered every week. All this, and the pub is located one block from the hotel. www.thegaragepubandgrill.com

Columbus Philharmonic

The Philharmonic provides live orchestral performances, educational opportunities and advocates for community involvement and support. In 27 seasons, the Philharmonic has become a musical landmark in this architecturally and artistically rich area. For events: www.thecip.org

4th Street Bar & Grill

For more than 30 years, the 4th Street Bar & Grill has been a local staple. It’s a go-to favorite that has something for everyone, from its creative and extensive menu, and the lively banter at the bar, to its live music on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Zaharakos

This historic parlor has been serving sodas, sundaes, and smiles since 1900. Step inside Zaharakos (Zuh-HARE-uh-koes) to find an ice cream parlor of stained glass, carved oak, and marble. Look for the Tiffany-style lamp and the double soda fountains. It’s not just ice cream. Enjoy the fun, old-style eats including hamburgers, soups and salads. Try the Gom Sandwich!

Tre Biccheri

An excellent and cozy restaurant in the heart of downtown (and great place for a romantic date), Tre Biccheri offers delectable Italian fare and seafood, too. Tre Biccheri, or "three glasses" in Italian, showcases local artists on its walls. See something you like? It's for sale!

Bistro 310

Testimonials

The hotel is centrally located next to the Cummins headquarters and close to downtown. Everything is walkable. (Otherwise you are going to be a few miles away off the Interstate.) Very clean, good-sized rooms. Attentive, helpful staff. Close to a large, wooded park if you like to run or walk.

This place is a must-try. I'll bet you'll return. This hotel is right in synch with funky, fun downtown Columbus, Indiana - which is right out the door and down the [short] block. Have fun.

-MikeRiverside

The Hotel Indigo in Columbus In. is a truly memorable experience. I travel quite often for business and always thought a hotel was just a hotel. The Indigo makes the experience more like visiting friends than staying in a hotel. It is the place for me and I hope each time I travel to this area, there will be available rooms. I really don't want to stay anywhere else.
